Thanks, Judy. On my path report for first surgery, it refers to my BX. Then on my second surgery, which was the lumpectomy, that path report refers to lumpectomy as a BX, so I thought it meant biopsy...I wondered why they didn't use some form of abbreviation for lumpectomy.

Not sure why the "lumpectomy" was referred to as "BX". That is confusing.Wondering if it could have been a typo.Maybe ask surgeon's office to check about lumpectomy being referred to as BX with the pathology department. If there was a typo, consider asking to have the report corrected.
